This letter is to inform you of all necessary information for the Keystone Nationals Indoor Truck and Tractor Pull. This event is Thursday March 12 - Saturday March 14, 2015. We are asking that all pullers for Thursday night’s session be in the building by 3:00pm Thursday. We would like for all other pullers to be in the building by 3:00pm Friday; but if that is not possible, then you will need to be in the building by 9:00am on Saturday for Saturday morning event. NO VEHICLES WILL BE BROUGHT INTO THE PITS WEDNESDAY EVENING. Our staff would like to use Wednesday evening to set up and get their own equipment moved in since time may not allow for it later. There is enough pit space for all machinery to pit indoors. All vehicles will pit in the Exposition Hall.

NO Hauler arrival on the grounds prior to 2PM Wednesday, March 11, 2015

New for 2015 there will be a RESTRICTED HAULER ONLY PARKING area.

Our staff will be parking you so we ask that everyone be courteous and park where you are directed. If you arrive before 8am or during the event competition hours there will be a hauler holding area upon entering the complex lots. Once our staff returns the next morning they will be able to get your hauler parked and get you unloaded and into the building. Haulers will not need a parking pass. We cannot/will not accommodate hauler parking for electrical hook up. Please be prepared with your own power at your hauler if needed.

All other transportation vehicles will need the enclosed parking pass, to be displayed in the window of your vehicle, to get in and out of complex and for vehicle parking, separate from hauler parking. If they do not see a pass they will charge you to park. There will also be RV parking available. Campers and/or personal vehicles WILL NOT be permitted to park in the Hauler Lot. There will be designated areas for parking. There will be some electric hookups available for you to purchase in the Camping Lot. Please go to the Security Desk at the Farm Show Complex and they will assist you with hookup.

We have decided to have separate parking areas this year to try an alleviate haulers being blocked in on Saturday when they are ready to leave. So please be courteous as our staff works through this new set-up. There is a map enclosed to show where the designated parking areas will be located.

Once your hauler is parked, please find registration and let us know that you have arrived. Registration will be located in the pulling arena at the end of the track (finish area - same location as in prior years). When you sign in, you will be given your armbands and any other information that you and your crew will need for the event.

Our staff will be available to assist you in getting your vehicles to and from your haulers. Upon entering the building, the vehicle will be weighed and then parked in its designated area. Draw bars will be checked before you hook to the sled. After pulling, the top 3 vehicles will be reweighed and weighed again going into the finals. Please keep someone at your vehicle until a tech official has been there and has approved the vehicle to pull.

We ask that you fill your vehicle completely with fuel before entering the pit building. Tanks will be checked before crossing the scales. There is to be no refueling in the building, and for those who need to refuel before pulling again, there will be a designated refueling area. We will not be taking vehicles in and out of the pits several times. Once you are in, you will not be going back out. If you make the finals, then you can go out once.

Be sure that all smoke pipes are fastened well. If your smoke pipe blows off, falls off, or any other circumstance during your pull, YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED. Also be sure that you check the keystone website for the specs so that you make sure your pipe will line up with the smoke tube.

All tractors will be lifted by the front tow hitch. Please be sure that your hitch is adequate enough to hold the weight of your vehicle. Vehicles will be lined up in the pit area by number. There will be day and night security to make sure all vehicles are safe inside the building. Everyone will need to be out of the building two hours after the event has ended. No one can stay in the pits overnight.

No generators inside or directly outside of the pit building. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause, but in order to use the facility in the future, we must follow the rules of the Pa Farm Show Complex. There is electric in the pits.

There will be no support vehicles (golf carts, four wheelers, etc.) inside the buildings AT ALL. There will be a designated parking area outside the pit doors for them

Fans will be allowed in the pits until 5:00pm on Thursday and Friday, and 10:00am on Saturday morning. Please be respectful and courteous to all spectators as they are wondering around the pit area. There is to be NO reserved seating. The pull is general admission and first-come, first-served basis for seating once the arena doors are opened up to the general public.

Please come early and check out the vendors, equipment and merchandise on display. Also, we will be having Best of Show judging this year. If you won last year, you cannot win again this year. Your vehicle will be judged on its appearance, so polish them up. Judging will take place Friday afternoon. See the enclosed agenda for times.

The Keystone National staff thanks every one of the pullers for being a part of this event. This is a pull put on by pullers and volunteers. Please be courteous to all the staff, and if you have any questions or concerns you can direct your calls to Cory Forrester 1-717-729-5037.
